Nipple jewellery for men and women
November 26, 2004
By: Bob Whitehead
Both men and women can pierce their nipples, but the piercing
process is different for each gender. When a woman has her nipple
pierced, the nipple jewellery is actually inserted into the nipple
itself. For male nipple piercings, it’s more common for the
jewellery go through the areola, which is the dark pigmented area
surrounding the nipple. So, the nipple jewellery for men and women
differ a bit.
Steel Navel (www.steelnavel.com) recommends the appropriate gauges for each type of
nipple jewellery a person can use. They suggest that nipple rings
for females not be lower than 10 gauge, except in the case of
captive bead rings which can go down to 8. Male nipple jewellery can
go down to 8 gauge, though circular barbells are recommended to be
used at one gauge higher.
Nipple jewellery for females is usually distinguished by the bead
on the captive bead ring. The flower and star beads make the nipple
rings more feminine. Male nipple rings might have barbed wire
instead of a bead while the barbells are characterized by spikes.
Some are in the shape of dumbbells. There’s a lot of unisex
jewellery too, like barbells with dice on the end or the twisted
captive bead rings that give an extra sensation to the wearer.
Nipple shields are a type of nipple jewellery accessory that are
generally for women because of their size, as women’s areolas tend
to be larger. They may be jeweled or have intricate metal designs.
Some come with a barbell, or you can attach the shield to a favorite
barbell of your own.
Nipple jewellery is available for both genders and in unisex
styles to best accentuate your piercing.
